    Greetings - I am contemplating getting an Acer AO532H netbook from NewEgg. The one review there is very positive about the system - including comments about it's build quality and 5600-mAh battery.

    I like the Asus 1005 series in part because of the Splashtop application - but I think I could have an even more capable Linux install by putting Ubuntu Netbook Remix on the Acer as a dual-booter with XP Home. Plus the tiny charger tip on the newer Asus's worries me - it looks easy to bend.

    Does anyone have any comments or recommendations about the AO532H series? I've examined several of the older Acer's (Atom N270/N280) in stores here and they both had a lot of flex in the keyboards.

    Any input would be appreciated ... TIA
